Tragic Death of Heath Ledger: Housekeeper Finds Actor Dead in Apartment

[daniellemorgan]

Just read that he had pneumonia. Also, there were two bottles of sleeping pills with him, one prescription and one over-the-counter. It was accidental....that makes it even worse:-(

How sad - When I first saw him in the Patriot he reminded me of Andy Gibb Now this too still reminds me of Andy Gibb Gone too young and I am showing my age.

I wonder if they will still release the movie.

I'm sure they'll still release it. When the singer/actress Aaliyah died in a plane crash before filming was complete for "Queen of the Damned", they were still able to finish the filming of the movie and just computer generated her image.

The film will be released on time or even earlier now. He was currently filming the movie, "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" in London. There are pictures of him from this past weekend.

They'll definitely release the Batman movie - years ago when The Crow was out (back in the early 90's) and the star of that movie was killed during a stunt in the movie (Bruce Lee's son) - they still released that movie. It very sad to have an actor die but movie studios will want their money!

Oh ya.....I loved Brandon Lee. Good flick.

Its very tragic. He was so young and financially able to get help, I just dont get it. Prayers for his family.

Oh my goodness...I am just now finding out about this! I LOVED his acting...A Knight's Tale is one of our family's favorites! I pray that his family and friends are comforted through this...I can't even imagine what they are going through right now!

OMG. My DH worked on A Knights Tale with him. This is terrible.

doing what? What does your hubby do? I'm sorry, I'm sure this affects you two more on a personal level. I think it's sad and I think he was a good actor!

I was upset when I saw the news. I originally "fell in love" with him in 10 Things I Hate About You...and loved A Knights Tale! He did start to get a bit greasy and scraggly looking, but I really enjoyed his acting and his talent. How sad for Michelle and their daughter Matilda. What a tragedy to lose someone so young!!

 

[daniellemorgan]

his autopsy is inconclusive, which means he definately didn't die from natural causes. they will have his tox results in 10-14 days.

I love that movie......it is very sad that he died so young. It really hits home..he is my age and I have a son that is 2yrs.

The Furry Guy and I were discussing this. We are hoping it turns out that his death was an accident. It's easy to take "a few extra" if you think those types of medications aren't working. It's also easy to get a bit groggy and forget you've taken them recently.No matter what they find, it's a tragedy.
